Korban! I recognized that name immediately. Good to see you again mate!

Can't say there is much life left in the forums nowadays, I also don't lurk as much as I used to, as you no doubt can tell seeing it took me over a month to spot this thread. The forums losing their recognizable styling hurts too, it feels less like the home it used to be. I still browse occasionally or look through the archives of; I never forgot the great times I had here. I rarely post these days. I know many have moved on to other places like Discord, but that isn't really for me. The forums will be my home at the Wolfire community until it dies or I do.

But returning to topic, yeah, live's been treating me well, although not that much has changed. I started at the university in 2010, amidst the times this place was booming with activity, yet nowadays I'm mere weeks away from finishing the last piece of research I will work on before leaving the academic world behind for the foreseeable future. I've been working as a part-time software engineer already, and am looking to make that my full-time occupation for the next few years.

I hope this message finds you well. It may take months until I check in again, so until then!

~ BlackProgramming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

I also still exist. I lurk here every few months but haven't posted in uh... A long time. It's cool to see a couple faces I remember from way back in the day when I was a much younger (and dumber) person, and it's super rad to see some are on the Wolfire crew now! I remember popping on here a few months ago and seeing the old styling had gone and that made me do a sad as a little bit of nostalgia left my soul.

I did the university thing and finished that last year. I'm working in a bar now while I try to support starting a career as an Actor, I also Write, and (very occasionally) do really bad Stand-Up Comedy.
